    Pakistan Issues Visas To Over 3,000 Sikh Pilgrims

    IANS, 11 Nov, 2016 12:37 PM
      Pakistan High Commission has issued visas to as many as 3,316 Sikh pilgrims to attend birthday celebrations of Guru Nanak Dev from 12-21 November there.
       
      Announcing this, Manzoor Ali Memon Counsellor (Press) in the Pakistan High Commission in Delhi said this was done in line with Pakistan's efforts to encourage people to people contacts and promote religious tourism.
       
      The High Commission has issued visas to pilgrims more than the numbers prescribed under the 1974 bilateral protocol, he added.
       
      Guru Nanak Dev was born on 15 April 1469 at 'Rai Bhoi Ki Talva', present day Nankana Sahib, near Lahore in Pakistan's Punjab province.
       
      Every year a large number of Sikh pilgrims travel to Pakistan to visit different Sikh shrines.
